The U.S. District Court for North Dakota said the Christian Employers Alliance was “likely” to prevail in its suit against the Department of Health and Human Services and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Judge Daniel M. Traynor, an appointee of former President Trump, issued the preliminary injunction two weeks after hearing arguments in the case.

Judge Traynor wrote that the latest rules from HHS would encourage “a parent to file a complaint if a medical provider refuses to gender transition their child, of any age, including an infant.

Judge Traynor also said that the edict was dubious on the merits, attempting to brand doubts about certain treatments as phobias….
